Itchy Thighs During Period?
Posted: 11-06-04 13:41pm

Hi.. During my period (usually on the 3rd/4th day) i've been getting ichy thighs (near the bikini line n bum cheek) when I sleep at night.. And I cant help it but to scratch (in my sleep). I've been having that for quite a while, was wondering if this is normal? I dont want to scratch it but cant help it >.< and it usually goes away after a day or two. Sometimes it can get abit sore, but this doesnt concern me much as it doesnt hurt me or anything.

I normally use pads (kotex), could the skin be sensitive to the material?

Also, my thigh and lower back feels kinds of get "chubby" on the first day of my period, is this normal also?

Itchy pad scratching against your bum maybe? Pads are like diapers- not fun to change and a pain in the ass- mayeb try tampons?
